Data too large, data for [<transport_request>] would be [10554893106/9.8gb], which is larger than the limit of [10092838912/9.3gb], real usage: [10523239224/9.8gb], new bytes reserved: [31653882/30.1mb]]]]

  1. Can you please explain what these in-memory shard structures are ?
    Does it have any relation with the mappings that i have put in each index. For now all my indexes have same mapping.
  2. I can also see that if i use same mapping and go on creating empty indices the heap occupied goes on increasing and is never free'd. Note that i am not putting any documents while doing #2
